Ocean Mapping Technology Workshop
Monday May 1st, 2017
OVERVIEW
Over the past two decades, the technology we use to map and understand the seafloor and ocean systems has advanced dramatically. Software and hardware for the collection, processing, analysis and visualization of data has moved on tremendously. Scientific forums such as GeoHab have helped bring together technology providers and end users to advance the science associated with how we map, study and managed the marine environment.
The goal of this GeoHab workshop is to offer software and hardware vendors an opportunity to showcase the latest and greatest innovations in ocean mapping tools to the seafloor geological and habitat mapping science community. This may include hands-on trials of the latest software tools, classroom sessions on technology developments, or field demos of hardware.
